This definitive proxy statement provides the final details for the shareholder vote on the internalization merger, which was initially announced on April 30, 2026. The proposal to issue approximately 7.5 million shares to acquire the external manager is highly dilutive for existing shareholders, effectively doubling the outstanding share count. While the internalization aims to align management interests and potentially reduce costs long-term, the immediate impact of such significant dilution is negative. Shareholders will vote on June 22, 2026.
